John 3:21 and 1 John 1:6 define both sides of truth. Truth is practiced or not practiced by coming to the light or walking in darkness. Light is the cause of good made in you. No light is the cause of bad made in you. Walking in darkness is blasphemy of the spirit. Keeping His covenant for day and night, which is walking in the light and night of My day, is the path, the Way to the tree of life.
I was struck by a couple of things: 1. The truth will set you free. I guess I just always thought of truth as right or wrong. But what if I change the small t to a big T? Truth = Jesus If that is true, then it's not just that I believe in good morals, but I believe in the source of good morals. It's believing in Him, that makes me free. 2. Truth is my north star. In a world where people have their own truth, Jesus is my anchor. It's hard but also comforting to know that He is in charge and I am not. Truth doesn't change... that anchors me.
